I'd been deep in days of cleaning, clearing, de-cluttering, and closet organizing (that's why I am posting this SOL a day late) when I came upon some priceless, fading photos of ladies, who blazed trails and broke through glass ceilings long before women's liberation was conceived. While I will never know the whole story behind this photo....I can surmise that my Aunt and her friends are very pleased with themselves, sitting on purple velvet, sipping martinis, setting the stage, perhaps, for an evening in the city.
I suspect that life circumstances, personal drive, and strong backbones helped each of them forge professional careers in worlds dominated by men.
I wonder why are they drinking (and smoking) in what appears to be a library?
I am pretty confident that only one of my blog-readers will recognize only one of these ladies!
Wouldn't if have been great if they had blogged about the slices of their lives?
PS This is a day-late-slice-of-my-life!
